So as you know, I’m doing my Discomfort Zone thing tomorrow (CAT STORIES?? AT 10:30 IN THE MORNING?? Oh, for the love of Christ.), but our own Ned Lannamannaman is being thrust into the Discomfort Zone next week! GOT ANY IDEAS THAT WILL MAKE HIM WRITHE IN DISCOMFORTMENT?
If you want to play, look for weird, discomfortable events that fall anytime on the following dates: FRIDAY, AUGUST 26-SUNDAY, AUGUST 28.
What we know about Ned so far: He likes science. He hates horrible music. He dislikes making contact with other human beings. That’s about it. (Oh, and while you are welcome to suggest things like, “Shit into a hat and make him wear it,” we would prefer actual events that we don’t construct ourselves. Otherwise, we’d be using our own endless supply of sadistic creativity to torture Ned, which is a lot worse than merely wearing a shat-into hat, and super illegal I think.) HAPPY HUNTING!

The 2011 Lapdance Expo/Sundae Party. If that is not a thing, it should be.
“He likes science. He hates horrible music. He dislikes making contact with other human beings.”
The answer should be obvious, make him attend a Christian music and/or creationist festival.
If he hates horrible music, why does he keep posting about Stephen Malkmus?
There’s no reason not to add “shit into a hat and make him wear it” to whatever else we pick, anyway.

And make sure he’s there for the Alphabeticians. One of them wears a gorilla suit. Or sasquatch suit. Or bear suit. You tell me.

Make Ned edit a Todd Mecklam blog. Forever.
Oh, Kiela, you *do* care!
Make Ned play a singer/songwriter show at the Doug Fir… with all science geek songs.
Ned can join me next weekend. I’ll be drinking bourbon and fighting a bear.
Dress Ned up all Homelessly and make the so’mabitch spange all day. It’d be interesting to see how much ca$h money he can make and how many people treat him like shit.
Streak my friend’s bachelor party, Saturday August 27th. Friend requested no boobs, he said nothing about no balls.
OR – if you want to not get arrested for public indecency – recreate Party Boy for his bachelor party.
